Advertisement System V2.6 Aka Ad Management · **Released**: 05-12-2008

Many forums are using the Ad management system, however the coder has stopped supporting the script. Therefore I have decided to release this modification. I will give support to those who need it and continue to make updates to the system.

====>> Live Demo
The Advertisement System was designed with the intent that anyone with any level of experience could use the system. It is easy to install and once installed, the templates are easy to use on a site. The advertisement system has several features that sites will enjoy such as it can be used on versions 3.6.x as well as 3.7.x. The ads can be placed in the following areas: header , footer , below whats going on, below the navbar , postbit , postbit legacy, pms, announcement, archive, left & right column in forum home , left column in member info and full page , threadbit , as well as forumbit. Also, the ability to not display advertisement on certain pages such as login, registration & the search page. This system allows you to personalize the system to better suit their needs such as setting permissions like ads after first post on a page, ads after last post on a page, ads after X post on a page, and ads every X posts on a thread. You may also display ads by forum ID, as well as customize the full page for your site. The system comes with a feature for auto refresh ads as well as Google analytics. Besides the features,there is constant support given to those who need it and of course, updates are made to the system in order to better serve the sites using the system.

How about a link next to the ad that says to remove these ads click here or phrased so we can change the wording?

Change the somefilename.swf to your files location and name. Also make sure you change the width and height.

thanks mate, I'll give it a shot... I ended up finding this last night and it's working... same type of thing, just a bit more text...

i have tried to do this with both the default vbulletin style thats standard in vbulletin and also with my customised themes but it will not do anything full stop

im using vbulletin 3.7.0

First let me thank the author for doing this mod. It's sad that RedTyger has dropped off the face of the Earth, and doesn't support the old mod any more. What a fantastic piece of work it is. Now. . . with that said. . .

For those of you having trouble with this, I am still running the old version on all of my forums, and it works perfectly with vb3.7. I never tried the auto refresh and couldn't care less if it works or not. Everything else works fine.

So don't worry about installing the old mod on your 3.7 forums.

Hey kami004,
How'd you go changing the random code separator from a comma to something else? It would be so good to be able to change that, then we could have rotating flash banners!

Thanks,
Drew

D.Baker · #89 05-24-2008, 07:22 AM

ESADCG, wouldn't that flash embed code give you an active-x warning in older versions of IE? I thought you had to do SWFobject embeds to avoid those. It would be great if I didn't have use SWFobject, but I don't want those active-x warnings.

Arbit3r · #90 05-24-2008, 11:50 AM

Anyone know the $ad_location for the postbit? It seems there all noted apart from that one.
